Pak wages undeclared war

Says Afghan president; claims Taliban won't last without Islamabad's support

AFP, New Delhi
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani yesterday accused Pakistan of waging an "undeclared war" and said Taliban insurgents battling his government would not last a month without sanctuary in the neighbouring state.
Ghani also urged Pakistan to spend around $500 million pledged in aid for Afghanistan to tackle extremism instead.
" Despite our intense engagement with Paldstan on bilateral and multilateral basis, the undeclared war... not only has not abated but also intensified during 2016 with special intensity," Ghani said.
"One of the key figures in the Taliban movement recently said if they didn't have a sanctuary in Pakistan, they wouldn't last a month," he added.
The Taliban were toppled from power by a US-led invasion in 2001 and have battled the Kabul government and its foreign allies since then.
Afghan officials accuse Pakistan of supportingtheTaliban and continuing to
provide sanctuaries on its soil in hopes of maintaining influence in Afghanistan.
The Afghan leader was speaking at the sixth ministerial conference of the Heart of Asia - Istanbul Process, a dialogue on ways to encourage security, political and economic cooperation
among Afghanistan and its neighbours.
Delegations from more than a dozen countries including Pakistan, China, Russia, Turkey and Iran attended the conference in the northern Indian city of Amritsar yesterday.
They discussed challenges to the long-term growth and stability of the war-torn country.
India, the fifth largest bilateral donor to Afghanistan, has been a key supporter of Kabul's government and has poured more than $2 billon into the country since the Taliban were toppled.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday promised his country's support for peace while also indirectly criticising Pakistan's role in the region.
"Terrorism and externally-induced instability pose the gravest threat to Afghanistan's peace, stability and prosperity," he said.
" It (support for peace) must be backed by resolute action. Not just against forces of terrorism, but also against those who support, shelter, train and finance them," Modi added, hinting at Pakistan.
Both the Indian and Afghan leaders in recent months have vocally blamed Pakistan for its support for groups and individuals behind attacks in their countries.
